I have a 6 year old GE Triton Dishwasher that stops during the rinse cycle. The rinse cycle will run for about 5 minutes before the dishwasher appears to reset. I can hear some of the water draining, but after the dishwasher stops, I still have about an inch of water in the bottom. The dishwasher never gets to the drying stage of the cleaning cycle.

I've checked the connection between the dishwasher and the garbage disposal. I removed the hose and made sure there was no visible blockage. I removed the sump entrance screen and made sure there was no gook built up...this was clean. I've looked in the self clean filter with a flashlight, and do not see any build up or blockage.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Could it be the drain solenoid? I would be grateful for any help I can get.

The turbidity sensor may be dirty. Try starting a light wash cycle using a quart of white vinegar poured into the tub after you hear the unit begin to fill. (No soap during this procedure). Let the unit run the Light wash cycle and see if it will go all the way thru.

In the spirit of the holiday season, I will provide you with my private copy of a quick guide service manual for this series. Disregard the model numbers you see in the document, as it covers lots of other models made later such as your Triton, I believe.

Thank you for all the help. I had previously checked the hoses, and they are clear. If they drain on time, and not volumn, would it make sense to remove all the water in the basin, then run it. Remeber, the vinegar did allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Just a thought...I'm grasping at straws...

Get out the 'ol stopwatch.Run your cycle.Time each cycle, especially the drain cycle.Compare these times to those posted in the Tech sheet in your DW.If the drain cycle times out correctly, then RepairMan is right on again.(He usually is).New drain pump.

You might have a bad drain solenoid. This opens the flap to allow the motor to pump out. Sometimes gunk gets in the flap itself and won't allow it to open all the way.
